Internet Sharing not working?

Ok, so I'm on a Tmobile MDA AKU3.3
After searching and reading all the post regarding the new internet sharing program, it seems simple. Start internet sharing on MDA, hook up usb to laptop and go... I disabled Bluetooth on the laptop and turned it off on the on the MDA. The laptop and MDA seem to connect as it starts a connection and gets an IP, but I cannot surf the web at all.
Any ideas? Thanks, for any responses.

T-Mobile MDA Vario not connecting to WiFi

I just got a "new" T-Mobile MDA Vario (UK), and after starting it, everything seems to work fine.
But when trying to connect to wireless networks, it finds them okay, but never connects to them. It just alternates between "Connecting" and "Available" in the network list.
My laptop and the other PC in the house connects to our and other WiFi networks fine, so it must be a problem with the Vario.
I've tried a factory reset with the same results.
Any suggestions what might be wrong or what might fix it?
The OS is apparently 1.3.2.2 if that helps.
Thanks in advance!

had this a couple of times. my work router here worked fine after i rebooted the router.
but some networks i havent been able to get on to.
What encryption is your wireless access point/router running? and what brand is it?

Thanks for the reply.
It's a Linksys router, using a WEP security pass, but it won't connect to other branded routers either (local unprotected neighbourhoods ones (A Belkin, for example) that the laptop and PC can connect to just fine).
With the old XDA Mini S I used to use, it connected to the network fine then asked for the WEP Key, but this one just never connects. I've tried going into the network info and putting in the WEP Key, and it stores it and gives no 'Wrong Password" error, but still never connects.

I've upgraded the ROM to the latest official T-Mobile one (2.21.2.6 WWE) to see if that would help, but I still have the same issue.
Is switching to the I-Mate K-Jam or O2 XDA Mini S ROM simply a matter of installing it the same way I would a T-Mobile ROM update, or will that brick the phone?
My old XDA Mini S never had this issue, and I've read of a few people using the MDA Vario having the same problem, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the T-Mobile ROMs/software?

Bump.
Anyone got any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem. I downloaded the lastest upgrade from the T-mobile site and was still not able to connect to the internet with wifi.
And suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I tryed with T-mobile 2.26 ROM. I like to connect to my desktop pc, with ad-hoc mode. As I remember, I could connect, but the PDA didn't accept the IP address and other network settings, that provided the dhcp server. (WinXP internet connection sharing) I checked this with vxUTIL. Connection didn't work even if I setup the IP address, gateway, and DNS server manually.
I upgraded to WM6 and now the thing work well.

I've the same issue, but also noted that the device already connects to dlink routers, linksys ones's didn't work, previously with the original ROM from CINGULAR 8125 the linksys worked fine now they don't.... i recently upgraded my phone to wizard love for G4's so it's not only a tmobile issue.

Internet Sharing between two pdas

I am wandering if there is a way to share my internet connetion between my alltel ppc 6800 with the new htc shift. I know how to link the phone with my laptop but I am currently looking at purchasing the shift to replace it and was wandering if the connection would work. If anyone has tried this please post.
P.S. the connection would be via bluetooth unless I converted the mini usb from the ppc 6800 to usb back to usb to plug into the shift. Thanks.

not sure if it could be done with BT, pretty sure it cant be done with USB (unless the shift can operate in host mode)
what should work is wifirouter (im sure the shift has wireless)

ok so how would i get the connection to work through a router? The only internet connection i have is through the ppc 6800.

nono, wifirouter is an app that you would run on your 6800, it essentially turns it into a wireless access point that other wifi enabled devices can use for internet access

where is the app available for download at?
Is that the only way it would work or could I configure the 6800 as a modem to connect?

ok I downloaded the app but still cant connect. I am trying the connection via my laptop and it stops at waiting for Internet connection sharing. is there some setting that needs to be changed or what am i doing wrong?

You ever figure out how to get the internet on your pda using the 6800 and the connection? I would like to do this bluetooth with my setup.

The newest version of WMWiFiRouter ($$$) allows you to do this over wifi, BT, or USB. If you have the money, it's a great program.

I have WMWifiRouter and use it with my laptop. How do i use it with bluetooth to get internet on my Dell X51? The x51 wants to dial a number when you setup a connection.

Blue angel (XDA IIs) Wifi problems

Can anyone help. I've been searching all morning but I'm getting nowhere...
First my setup. I've got Orange internet (ADSL) so connect to the net using its (inventel) livebox. Connected to that is a Netgear (DSL) WNR834B which I have to use as a network switch as the livebox only has 2 lan ports,
(just for info Livebox is 192.168.1.1, netgear 192.168.1.5)
After nearly 1 week of trying I've finally got my XDA IIs to connect to my Netrgear router (thanks to my brother and his XDA Orbit).
But I cannot for the life of me get my XDA to connect via Wifi to the internet. I have a wifi connection, but everytime I try to access the net it tries to use GPRS.
I've tried all the help I can find on the XDA itself and tried (and failed) to setup a work network, and route all internet via that (can't find a way of doing this as the wifi isn't even listed...). Tried looking on the Wiki and searched for similar problems on this site. Nothing seems to work.
Can't remember where but I tired to set up proxy to go via 192.168.1.1. Didn't work...
1 week of getting it to connect to the router to fall at the next hurdle... Help.
BTW my brothers XDA orbit connects via my router with no problems. All pages are displayed.
Can anyone help??
'Fraid to say I'm ok with normal cable networking but this Wifi is giving me a headache.
Thanks

Has Anyone successfully connected an HD to the Internet via BT (WMWIFIROUTER/ICS)

I've tried this across various roms, and i've contributed to topics on the same before, but i haven't found a resolution connecting to an internet connection shared over Bluetooth on the HD.
the issue lies with the HD, as i'm able to connect with my laptop to the WMWifirouter set up phone, and i've noticed on the HD that when trying to set up the BT connection via connection, there are no services available, and ultimately the BT connection isn't setup.
Any help that can be offered in this respect would be appreciated.

Hi DRTigerlilly,
I used wmwifirouter, what version are you using? I can confirm that 1.30 works correctly via bluetooth (the phone assigns an IP address to computer and then connects to internet).
I had problems with previous versions, test with 1.30 and tell us if it works for you.
EDIT: I test with official and dutty's rom without problems.

tried 1.30, more of the same. The problem lies in the fact that i'm trying to connect the HD to another WM Phone running WMwifirouter(an 8525- HTC Hermes).
The 8525 shares the connection fine, the issue is getting the HD to connect to the 8525 to share the internet connection via BT.
When i setup the BT connection btw the HD & the 8525, the 8525 shows a Dialup Networking service, the HD remains blank. When i go under connections to create a new connection, and select bluetooth, the HD again searches for the BT connection, finds the 8525, but is unable to find any services & at this juncture the 8525 is unable to be stored as a BT connection.
When i tried it earlier i was on the Hong Kong WWE 1.57 rom, but i've flashed back to Dutty's v3.

ok so if youre using the internet connection sharing app that comes with the hd you first add the devices to each others trusted lists, go to the internet connection sharing app on your hd, select bluetooth as connection type, then tap connect. then on your computer if its windows xp you should be able to go into your network connections tab and youll see a bluetooth network adapter from there you can connect as bluetooth PAN. depending on what type of bluetooth adapter your computer had it migh be accessible from the settings when you click on the bluetooth icon in your task bar. so remember to connect to the phone as PAN not DUN

i think i must not be explaining myself very clearly. I want to surf the internet on the HD, via a 3g connection on the 8525.
